ATLANTA - The Allman Brothers, Sam Moore, Taj Mahal, Warren Haynes, Eric Church and several others have signed on to pay tribute in concert to Gregg Allman early next year.
"All My Friends: Celebrating the Songs & Voice of Gregg Allman" will be held Jan. 10 at Atlanta's Fox Theatre. The concert will be filmed and released later.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rush fans can relax. The band is now officially in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The Canadian rockers were welcomed into the musical fraternity at Thursday's 28th annual induction ceremony by the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. At the beginning of the Nokia Theatre event, the audience was already administering a standing ovation to the group.

"We've been saying for a long time that this wasn't a big deal," drummer-lyricist Neil Peart told the crowd, most of whom came out to specifically support the band. "It turns out, it kind of is."

Rush gained entry following its first appearance on the ballot after repeatedly being left off the list since gaining eligibility in 1998, to the great consternation of the legion of Rush fans who cried bias against progressive rock. The long wait didn't seem to matter at Thursday's star-studded concert event, which ran over five hours. Peart, lead singer Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson made up for lost time by launching into a rambunctious rendition of "Tom Sawyer" in front of the more than 7,000 attendees.

As bloodlines go, Holly Williams’ veins carry a lineage that’s as close to royalty as country music will allow. She also knows that having direct line to Hank Williams and Hank Jr. and might open doors, but it won’t pave the way.

Which is why she’s forging ahead largely on her own with her third album, “The Highway,” which she financed herself and will release on her own label on Tuesday . Williams wrote or co-wrote all of the album’s 11 tunes, and tapped pals Jackson Browne, Jakob Dylan, Dierks Bentley and Gwyneth Paltrow to lend guest vocals.

In support of this new effort, Williams is out and about on a U.S. tour, and will make her debut appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” tonight. (Technically, it’s her second “Tonight Show” appearance, but her first was during Conan O’Brien’s brief tenure in 2009.)

"The Boss" is being recognized both for his artistic achievements and his philanthropic work. The gala is one of many high-profile events taking place leading up to the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 10.

Chris DuBois says he and his songwriting partners didn’t set out to write a campaign theme.

But “Tough People Do” became just that in the hands of country star Trace Adkins, who played it at the Republican National Convention and at a Virginia rally for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan.

The song, which DuBois wrote with Jason Matthews and Joel Shewmake after Matthews brought the title phrase to a writing session, offers a message of resilience for difficult times.

“Tough people pull themselves up by the bootstraps when they hit hard luck,” the chorus goes, “and they stay strong and they keep on fightin’ like they don’t know how to lose. Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”

“What’s interesting is, we never had any intention of this being a political song,” said DuBois, who tries to keep his politics in the middle of the road. “If anything, it’s more of an American sentiment. It’s not aimed at any particular political party. It could have just as easily been adopted by somebody on the Democratic side.”

As the presidential campaign sprints into its final days, music is its soundtrack and heartbeat, extending a tradition that runs from “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” (William Henry Harrison and John Tyler, Whig Party, 1840) through Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” (Bill Clinton and Al Gore, Democratic Party, 1992) and beyond.

Kenny Chesney spent two hours on Saturday night delivering hit after sing-along, sweat-drenched hit to the almost-50,000 fans in the audience for the Brothers of the Sun tour stop in Nashville.

The LP Field crowd came alive as the sun went down, and when Chesney took the stage – a small round satellite platform near the back of the floor seats – camera flashes illuminated the stadium.

He kicked things off with “Beer in Mexico,” then told the fans, “I want to say hi to all you guys in the back. We love you.”

Perched on a steel swing, Chesney flew just a few feet over the audience to the main stage. The act worked in unison with the singer’s high-energy delivery and natural charisma to seemingly shrink the size of LP Field down to that of a theater for the tens of thousands of people that filled the seats.

Chesney kept the momentum going with “Summertime” and “Reality,” his sleeveless gray T-shirt drenched by the fourth song.

“No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem” prompted the night’s first impromptu sing along with the fans voices rivaling the volume of Chesney.
